A Novel Method of Real-Time Assessment for Coronary Artery Anastomosis Skill.
Annals of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2023 September 30
PURPOSE: Coronary anastomosis is the most key factor to accomplish coronary artery bypass grafting, which is one of the largest areas in cardiovascular surgery. Although we have organized on-site simulator training courses of coronary anastomosis using BEAT YOUCAN, it became difficult to continue it because of COVID-19. Therefore, we established a real-time evaluation sheet instead of an Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) evaluation sheet. The purposes of this study was to develop the real-time assessment system and to prove the correlation between the score obtained by the OSATS and the score obtained by the real-time evaluation system.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 22 videos from the qualifying round of real-time coronary anastomosis competition evaluated by both the modified OSATS and the real-time evaluation system were utilized in this study. The global rating score of OSATS was compared with the global rating score of real-time evaluation system.
RESULTS: When examined the relationship between the OSATS total score and the real-time total score, there was a significant correlation (R = 0.752, p <0.001). The OSATS general definition score and the real-time total score also showed a strong correlation (R = 0.733, p <0.001).
CONCLUSIONS: We developed a real-time assessment sheet to evaluate coronary anastomosis. This assessment sheet had a good correlation with the OSATS evaluation sheet.
